The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus, finding no current disability and no evidence of a causal relationship to the Veteran's military service. The claims for back condition, right knee condition, left shoulder condition, and right shoulder condition were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current hearing loss or tinnitus disability, nor was there sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between these conditions and his military service. The claims for back, right knee, left shoulder, and right shoulder conditions were remanded for further development.
